Starting at midnight Tuesday, police will be on the hunt for any speed demons traveling along the city's roads, including Staten Island.

The initiative will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20 and 21, and will conclude 48 hours later.

Fines for speeding range anywhere from $90 and can be as high as $600. Drivers can also receive 3 to 11 points on their license for speeding violations.

In New York City, the speed limit is 30 mph on local streets unless otherwise posted. There is no speed limit greater than 50 mph in New York City.

The NYPD also noted that there are newly created arterial slow zones in the city where the speed limit decreases to 25 mph and newly created school zones where the speed limit decreases to 20 mph.
